IRVING'S COLUMBUS.

The Great Discoverer's First Voyayc to America. A Har Mrw Wonderful Hfry Than ttM .Mltof KrilliMNt lHlKIHMttUH I1m Yel CuHjurtHL. Told ih the Wor-tla of Oh of tko Masters of Literatim. ington Irving, i CHAPTER XL coasti.v op uisr axiola. When the weather became favorable Columbus made, another attcsant on the the Utb of Decdtuber to find the island of Babeqne, bat wae again baffled by adverse wind. In the conrse of this attempt ho visited au island ljinjr opposite to the harbor of Conception, to which, from iu abonnding in turtle, lie gave tli naru of Tortngas. The natives had fled to tlie rocks and forests, and alarm fires blazed along the heights. The country wae o beautiful that be gave to one of the valleys the name of V'alle de Paraiso, or the Vale of Paradise, and called a liua stream the Guadalquiver, nfk-r that renowned river which flows through some of the faireet provinces of Spain. Setting tail on the 18th of December at. midnight, Colntnbtts Peered again for Hiepamoia. When half way acroae the gulf which separates the klauds, be perceived a canoe navigated by a single Indian, and, hi on a former occasion, wae asrouisneu at ins miruiitoou in ventiirinLf o far from lam! in frail a Ufv i

and at his adroitness in keeping it above , was 08 H P of tbe coast a little fur thet water, as the wind was fwh and there to tbe eastward. The wind preveotiag was some eea running. He ordered both 1 ? immediate compliance with this inhim aud hia pano tn l. taVn nn ivnr?. t vntation the admiral sent tbe notary c

ami having anchored near a village on , the coast of Hispaniola, at present known j as Puerto de Paz, he seat him on shore ' well regaled and enriched with various presents. In the early intercourse with these people, kindness never seems to have failed in its effect The favorable aocounts given by this Indian, and by those with whom thebpanmrds had communicated in their previous landings, dis I pelled the fears of the islanders. A friendly intercourse soon took place, and 1 me Miipa weif vuiieu uy n cacique OS th neighborhood. From this chieftain and his counselors Columbus had farther information of tbe island of Bbeque, wlikh was described as lying at no great distance. No mention is afterward made ef this kld, noc does it appear that 1m maun any farther attempt to eek it Xo sash island ssdsts ia the aaeint osnrts, atd it is probable that this was one of tLe numerous misinterpretations of Indif n words which led the flrst discoverers into so many fruitless researches. Tbs people of Hispaniola pared handsomer to Columbus thi ii an he had ye met with, ami of h geatiu and peaceable disposition. Some of them had ornaments of gold, which they readily gav away or exchanged for any trifle. The country was finely diversified with lofty mountains and frreen valleys, which stretched away inland as far as the eye could reach. The mountains were of such easy asccut that the highest of them might be plowed with oxen, and the luxuriant growth of tbe forests manifested the fertility of the soil. The valleys were watered by numerous clear and beautiful streams; they appeared to be cultivated in many places, and to be fitted for grain, for orchards and pastarasje. While detained at this harbor by contrary winds Columbus was visited by a young cacique, who came borne by four men on a sort of litter and attended by 00of his subjects. The admiral being at dinner when lie arrived, the young chieftain ordered hie followers to remain without, and entering the cabin took his wat beside Columbus, not permitting him to rise or ase any ceremouy. Only two old men entered with him, who appeared to be his counselors, and who seated themselves at hie feet If anything were given him to eat or drink he merely tasted it and sent it to his followers, maintaining an air of great gravity and dignity. Ue spoke but little, his two counselors watching hU lips and catching and communicatitig his ideas. After dinner he presented the admiral with a Wit curio ualy wrought and two piecej of gold. Columbus gave him a piec,of cloth, several umber beads, colored sboe3 and aflaidcof orange flower water; he showed him a Spanish coin on which were the llkeiiewm of the king and queen, and endeavored to explain to him tlie power and grawlenr of those sovereigns: lie displayed, also, tlie royal banners and the standard of the cross, but it was all in vain to attempt to convey any clear idea by thm symbols. The caciqne could not be nude io believe that there whs arejji-jn on the earth which produced thie vronderfnt ieople and wonderful things. 1I joined ia the common idea that the I Spaniards were more than mortal, and that tlie country and sovereigns they talked of must exist somewhere in the skies. In tlie evening tf.ecaciqne was sent on shore in the boat with great ceremony, siid a salute ftrod in honor of him. He departed In tliu sUte in which lie had come, carried on h litter, accompanied by a great concourse of his subjects!' not far behind him was his son, borne and escorted in like manner, and his brother on foot, supported by two attendants. Tbe present which he had received from tlie admiral were carried triumphantly before hint They procured but little gold in this nine, though whatever ornamnnts the Btivw poeM;d they rtwlily gave

away. Tn region of promise lay etui further cm. and one af the old counselors of the cacique told Columbus that Im

would mkw arrive at island rich in tbe proeious or. B'for leaving thin place. the admiral cnuml m larjf cross to be trtctl m tht wuter of the village, and from tbe rudmM with which the In duns assisted, ami their implicit imita tions of tite Spauiard in their acts of devotion, be inferred that it would be an easy inattar to convert thein all to Christianity. Oh the 19th of December they made mil before daylight, but with an unfavorable wind, ami qb the evening of the 90th they anchored m a fine l.rirbor, to which Coluwbns gave the name of St Thomas, supposed to be what at present is called the Bay of Acnl. It wm surrounded by h beautiful and well jniopled country The inhabitants caaie off, some in canoes. some swimming, bringing f raits of various unknown kinds, of great fragrance and flavor. These tlwy gave freely with whatever else they possessed, ! estecially their golden ornaments, which they saw were particularly covete by ' tha stranger. There wae a remarkable 5 frankness and generosity abont tbeee Ppl; they bad no idea of traffic, but gave away every thing with spontaneous liberality. Columbus would not permit hie people, however, to take advantage of this free disposition, but ordered that something should always be gives in exchange. Several of the neighboring caciques visited the ships, bringing present and inviting the Spaniards to their villages, where, on going to land, they were most hospitably entertained. Ou the 22d of December, a large canoe filled with natives came on a mission from a grand cacique named Guacanagari, who commanded all that part of the island. A principal servant of the chieftain came in the eanoe, bringing the admiral "a present of a broad belt, wrought ingeniously with colored beads and bones, and a wooden mask, the eyes, nose aud tongue of which were of gold. Hn delivered also a message from the cacique, begging that the ships might come opposite to his residence, which the squadron, with several of the crew, to visit the cacique. He resided in a town, situated on a river, at what they called Punta Santa, at present Grande Hiviero. it was the largest and best built town they had yet seen. The cacique received them in a kind of public square, wliich had been swept and prepared for the occasion, and treated them with great honor, giving to each a dress ot cotton. The inhabitants crowded around them, bringing provisions and refreshments of various kinds. The snsiwnn were received into their hoasss as distinguished guests; they gave them garments of cotton and whatever else appeared to have value in their eyes, asking nothing in return, bat if anything were given appearing to treasure it ay as a sacred relic. Tbe cacique would have detained thssa all night, tmt their orders obliged them to return. On parting with them, ha gsve them presents of parrots and pieces of gold for the admiral, and they were attended to their boats by a erowd of tbe natives, carrying the presents for them, and vying with each other in rendering them service. During their absence, the admiral bad been visited by a great number of canoes and several inferior caciques; all assured him that the island abounded with wealth; they talked especially of Cibso, a region in the interior, farther to the east, the cacique of which, as far as they could lie understood, had banners of wrought gold. Columbus, deceiving himself as usual, fancied that this name Cibao must be a corruption of Cipango, and that this chieftain with golden banners must be identical with the magnifleent prince of that island mentioned by Marco Polo.
